I went to See Your Mother
In the fall; under great big oak trees; a conversation that I'm sure happened.
I Went to See Your Mother
i went to see your mother
one cool october day
i did most of the talking
at least it seemed that way
i told her that i loved you
and often held you in my arms
then i made some silly promise
that always i would keep you from harm
i went to see your mother
under where the old oaks grow
i told her we were married
just in case she didn’t know
then i just had to laugh
i really don’t know why
it was just me and your mother
under that gray october sky
i went to see your mother
near her friends and family
she said her love was deep within you
and that your love was safe with me
i wondered how she knew
i decided not to ask
then i said goodbye
but i told her i’d be coming back
